Tammy Abraham stars as England comfortably beat Bosnia 5-0
at Walsall.
England ended their qualification campaign with a flourish
as they cruised to an easy victory over Bosnia. Bosnia on the other hand
started brightly as they applied lots of early pressure and all they lacked was
the killer through ball to finish the move.
England took the lead in incredible fashion just after the
15 minute mark, when John Swift picked up the ball on the edge of the box and
let fly and exceptional strike which looped over the top the Bosnian keeper and
found its way into the top corner.
England didn’t have to wait long for a second, as Joshua
Onomah took the ball at the top of the box and his shot was easily saved by the
keeper only for striker Tammy Abraham to tap home to double England’s lead just
a couple minutes later. England went into the break 2-0 up and cruising as
Bosnia hadn’t really troubled Walton in goal.
There was only one injury concern for England and Chelsea as
Nathan Chalobah went off at half time to be replaced by Calum Chambers.
England added a third through debutant Joshua Onomah, who cut
inside the box and let fly an excellent finish beyond the keeper. England scored
a fourth when Jack Grealish, put an inch perfect through ball for winger Duncan
Watmore who coolly slotted past the keeper to make it four for England.
Tammy Abraham completed the scoring, on 68 minutes when he
ran through on goal and dinked the ball over the keeper to tie the game up for
England and ending the qualification campaign on possibly as big as high as possible
and gave Aidy Boothroyd a first home win in charge of the U21’s and maintained
his 100% record as well.
Abraham probably stole all the headlines with his brace but
there were impressive displays across the midfield with Onomah, Swift and
Grealish all impressing in different ways with Onomah and Swift picking up
goals and Grealish aiding in at least a couple of them, the man of the match
decision was a hard one but it was given to Grealish as he probably made the
biggest contribution to the game. Boothroyd probably is hoping that he’ll be in
charge for Poland in 2017 but only time will tell what the FA will decide upon.
